What happened after WWI?
• After WWI the world made 2 crucial mistakes1)We did not create a world organization to
communicate and prevent future world wars (United Nations today)
2)We failed to rebuild Germany/Europe to prevent rise of Hitler and repeat of world conflict.
WWI ends, begin rise of Dictators
• Democracy vs. Monarchy • Some of the worlds’ most powerful
nations were still ruled by monarchs through the 1930s.
• Monarchs are never wrong!!! Royalty are chosen by a god, dictators choose themselves or else….
• THE BAD GUYS = THE AXIS POWERS• All ruled under dictators (1 all powerful
leader)Italy = facism Japan = monarchy (royalty)Germany = dictator (absolute power

Fascism
• Fascism = a very aggressive nationalism, men are in charge, the military rules all, no free thought. Belief country and military more important than anything or death.
